VIGEVANO
Elachem Vigevano faces Intercollege Borgomanero, a team that includes the former Gialloblù captain Federico Ferrari among its managers, whose three children are now an active part of the roster despite their young age.
Borgomanero made his debut as a newly promoted against two big names like Livorno and Omegna, failing to win but not disfiguring.
«They are a young team – explains the Elachem coach Paolo Piazza – that we should not underestimate. Against Omegna they remained in the game until the last minute, while with Livorno they were ahead in the first quarter, but the opponents put it on physicality and came out well. If teams like Borgomanero pick up a good pace, they can put the opponent in difficulty, driven by the enthusiasm that young age brings with it ».
90% of Borgomanero’s players are a product of the Piedmontese club’s youth sector, but these have been joined by long experience elements such as Matteo Airaghi, Khadim Diouf and Curtis Nwohuocha (the latter, however, will not be on the field today because he is unavailable. ). On the other hand, Jacopo Mercante makes his debut in the Vigevano ranks, so far absent in the league for the two rounds of disqualification of the past season to be served. Even Nicolò Gatti will be available, despite having trained only a couple of days during the week, who in the aftermath of last Saturday’s match, won by the ducals against Varese, experienced swelling of an ankle due to which he missed a few sessions of work out. Yesterday and Friday, however, the big forward originally from Acqui Terme returned regularly to train with his teammates who for the first time this year will play fully in a championship match. –
